Wayne

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Just as I imagined it to be, an old small hotel with much needed manicure care away from the central areas. The food was good, better than other larger hotels and the views out to the ocean is spectacular. This hotel is located on a small hill and away from the ocean. It does not offer entertainment but always host events there. The majority of the staff workers are HEART students. It is advisable to choose the meal package as there's no place close by to buy food independently.

Loved This Place - Great Find!!
Nicer than I expected. Charming hotel with fine dining. The food was amazing. I utilized their room service and it was handled very well. Attractive pool with nice umbrellas and chairs. Pretty manicured lawns around entrance. I loved the Cardiff Hall private beach! The hotel shuttle driver was efficient and a nice guy. Everybody there tries very hard. It was a good find. Will stay again!
